Changes to some system tags in Snyk Essentials

Asset context has been proven to be well adopted and useful to make better prioritization decisions across the platform. With that, we will be removing some of the hard-coded system tags so that users can control directly through an asset policy how and under what conditions those tags apply.

The system tags that will be removed are all based on the repo name and can be created with an asset policy as demonstrated in the tagging policy use case.

The system tags that will be removed are: payment, infrastructure, ecommerce, scanned artifact: packages, scanned artifact: repositories, upload, demo, billing, account, attachment.

In addition, we're introducing in the UI the 'type' of each asset tag - this information will be available through the Inventory view and also when inspecting a specific asset.

This update rolls out on February 26, 2025.
